Bi-concave glass lenses are manufactured with both surfaces concave. These lenses have negative focal lengths. These lenses diverge collimated incident light and form virtual images, which are seen through the lens. They are often used to expand light or increase focal lengths in existing systems. They are used in laser beam expanders, optical character readers, viewers, and projection systems. Antireflection coatings can be ordered as an option

The plano-concave lenses are made from various material, which are manufactured with one concave surface and one plane surface. These lenses have negative focal lengths. These lenses diverge collimated incident light. They form virtual images which are seen through the lens. They are often used to expand light or to increase focal lengths in existing systems. We also offer precision grade plano concave lens with tighter manufacturing tolerances.
